FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEMBERSHIP
YMCA of Regina would like all members of the community to take part in its programs and enjoy its services regardless of economic circumstance. Financial Assistance is available for those who feel they would benefit from joining the YMCA but are financially unable, not unwilling, to pay the full general membership fees.
Our Financial Assistance Program is supported by dollars raised annually through our Strong Kids Campaign. It is through the generosity of our YMCA family and friends that everyone can have a YMCA experience.
HOW TO APPLY
1) Complete the Membership Assistance Application Form and acknowledge the terms and conditions on the application form.
2) Gather a Notice of Assessment (NOA) showing the net income for each income earner 18 and older in your household. One NOA is required for each adult even if the total net income is zero.
3) Bring the completed application and Notice(s) of Assessment, void cheque or banking information to the YMCA of Regina for review.
**NOTE** Re-application is required at the expiry of each Assisted Membership term.
